Introduction The Forestry Commission’s arrangements for pre-release access to Official Statistics are described in a Pre-Release Access Statement¹.

This document supplements the statement by giving the names and/or job titles of all those persons to whom pre-release access has been granted to Public Opinion of Forestry, UK and England. The report covers 2 forms of pre-release access:

- Part 1 provides a list of those receiving pre-release access to the Official Statistics in their final form for briefing purposes. As this is a release covering the UK, the pre-release access period is limited to 24 hours.
